Can't please everyone, I suppose. My most recent Substack has 5,000 views, the most popular has more than 28,000, so clearly a few people have enjoyed reading my work.
You literally cannot please everyone; it is an iron law of leadership. Anyone who has actually led anything, whether in Church or in business, knows this to be true.
How are the rest of us ever going to win at the game of right-wing Substacking when all the secrets of success are hung on the Tree of Woe for all to comtemplate?
Take the most egregious situation, law, grant, program, non competitive bid or policy you can find and parse it with AI into questions regarding its particulars.
Like this:
In the USA at present, persons over the age of 18 can vote in all government elections.
In some jurisdictions the prospective voter must furnish a form of identification before they can actually do it.
QUESTION: In your opinion who should be permitted to vote?
A. the current system just and equitable, leave it alone
B. demonstrable citizens 18 years and up
C. demonstrable citizens 21 years and up D. demonstrable citizens 25 years and up
E. men only, citizens, over 21 years
F. citizens over 21 years that pay at least $3000 in annual property tax
G. citizens over 21 years that pay at least $25,000 in annual property tax
G. anyone that wants to vote is welcome
Post: *The Questionnaire* on your web site.
Charge the voters, your patrons, some $ money to vote on it and to make their thinking known to those charged with their representation.
The results will be posted on line and delivered to every government official from your precinct to the President, the ad council to the CDC.
Have the same AI take the patrons demographics and congressional district, property tax and post that too.
Have the AI post the results in real time and send results to the respective councilman, commissioner, judges, congressman, state representative, senator and governor!!
One Questionnaire should earn you many thousands of dollars per month and AI can do it for you!
Become an active Petition for a Redress of Grievances, and get paid for doing it!

It is obvious to everyone....
Representative democracy has failed.
And now we need to modify the way it “promotes the general welfare, and provides for the common defense.”
We also need a mechanism to accommodate citizen proposals for program and infrastructure improvements and maintenance.
Because Citizenship is not about writing letters to elected officials or voting some good person into office.
Citizenship is about the Ratification or Annulment of each line of every law, rule, regulation and supreme court decision on the books or that is on the docket waiting to be turned into law, policy and taxes.
Nothing short of this is going to ameliorate the situation for the body politic.
During the 1992 Presidential campaign, Ross Perot observed that: "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy is the one specific reason that the people of America suffered…. and our only means of correction is to inspect their work and hold them accountable.”
Mr. Perot went on to note that this can easily be done with computer programs.
He called it: THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL.
“It is only logical that it will become our Fourth Branch of Government”, he said.
Objective reality:
the voting members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not have enough time to read, comprehend or debate any of the laws they vote on. They vote 100 times a day, every five minutes, while in session.
Approximate absolute facts:
a. Every day that the Congress and Legislatures are in session 100
new bills are introduced and distributed.
b. The representatives are given two weeks to review the laws before they are brought up for The Vote.
c. Two weeks into the session they begin voting on the Laws that were previously introduced, while newer laws are introduced.
d. Many laws are in excess of two thousand pages.
e. The arithmetic demonstrates that the elected representative does not have the time to even read the name of the Law much less the content of it.
f. Since the Representatives cannot evaluate 200 thousand pages of law speak per day, they vote the way their advisors tell them to vote.
g. Thus, they have all forfeited their delegated obligation to represent us.
h. Representative government is obsolete. It does not work for us.
And the only way to prevent these over worked and fallible people from making even more tragic mistakes, from which we, and the rest of the world, might never recover is to include ourselves, The Citizens, from whom the authority for government comes in the first place, in the final decision making process.
The Electronic Congress
How it works:
1. Before a new law, tax, or expenditure can be put on the books it must first be Ratified by the Citizens.
2. Existing laws can be Annulled by the same super majority required to Ratify them.
This program can be applied to every level of government and will ultimately solve every problem we have.
To prevent chaos, the basic law, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, would be exempt from review.
Mr. Perot speculated that the Founding Fathers would probably have done the same had the technology been available in their day.
Just imagine:
We, The People, could actually direct the priorities and review the progress of the major agencies like the: CDC and NIH as well as the libraries, school boards and local police departments.
If our government truly is of the people, by the people and for the people then this is the only way forward.
How to implement it:
We talk about it until it is done.
A concerned Citizen could have AI parse a recent law or Supreme Court ruling into its actionable elements, apply the Ratify or Annul Questionnaire, then distribute the links.
Can I make money with this?
Use AI to parse the laws you find most egregious into their component pieces. And then have it build the ballot / questionnaire along with some demographic background to make the game especially interesting. Charge a $1 per voter per law to deliver the results of the poll to the government officials and watch the evolution in real time.
The Electronic Townhall becomes an active Petition for a Redress of Grievances.
Ask the local school board for their agenda items, have AI parse the actionable elements, create a questionnaire, distribute it to the concerned citizens and then evaluate the results.
When Human Beings made in the image of God can see the results of their noblest and most sober thoughts, at such a scale, then there will be the moment where Our Benevolence and Good Will shall
overcome Evil and then we all live happily ever after.
Ross Perot publicly promised that if the People of America would elect him to The Presidency, he would give us The Electronic Townhall.
The Fourth Branch of Government will allow us to go from Chaos to Prosperity and a Life Worth Living … until the end of time.
We were created by God and in the image of God; we are human beings, not animals in a pen.
Be right back, I just have to start a new blog here decrying Tree of Woe as an enemy infiltrator and ticket-taker. Don't worry, I'll be sure to share it frequently in the comments here for maximum click- I mean, for maximum outr- I mean, to reach as wide an audience as possible, and save the readers here from this blackpilling psyop. Also be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and Patreon.
Back when the internet was young, libertarian blogger Glenn Harlan Reynolds would ofter instant punditry on a news item by saying "what cannot go on forever will stop"; today I find out he was quoting economist Herbert Stein: "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.”
Doomblogging can go on forever in the same manner.
If something will not stop, it can go on forever. I'd say: Leftism will not stop as it is a natural human phenomenon. We will forever be reacting to it.
Michael Snyder (no disrespect intended) is my favorite Doomblogger. Pretty much every day there is something about a crazy new virus, or the cities overwhelmed by crime, or another sign of the apocalypse, out of control degeneracy, or impending nuclear war or environmental catastrophe. While there is always a grain of truth in what he writes, the constant doom and gloom mostly appeals to the apocalyptic mind set. It is therefore entertaining to read the comments, but not so much the blog posts.
Congratulations Pater on the 6,000+ Subscriber Milestone! 😘
All those words just to show off the 6K ;)
ROTFL!
So true.
Ditto!
I did listen, but it's happening anyway.
We also never turned away from the warnings and not once did we ever believe Them, and yet the grave is our future anyway.
Some will die in their beds, though. Others, in a ditch.
...As long as most of it doesn't happen to you, and especially not because of things you did/didn't do, then that's the best you get. Oh well!
I subscribed to you, Briggs, and I thought that would stop it happening 😵
Me too.
What is Amaranth, what is Twitch and why I'm so old?
Ditto .. I don’t know half these things
An online prostitute, be proud you don't know who she is. She's a redhead with large breasts
Oh look. The Twitter 💩💩 showed up on substack

For the crime of SIMPing, you have been sentenced to corporal punishment: 50 lashes!
haha
It's not that I'm old, it's that everything is a deja vu all over again!
I’m just old 🤣
LOL!

There's nothing you can do.
But also spring follows winter.
So relax and enjoy it.
Not if it's a nuclear winter. Then it is death.
Luckily, NW is fake.
You're one of those magicians who likes to reveal his secrets. I get it.

There is glorious beauty in the tragic hilarity of this essay. Well done.
Excellent post 😂
The tone leaves me unsure of the intention but that’s why I like it so much.
Another good blackpill counter is …
“There will be fire.
It will hurt.
But at least you’ll wake up.”

Indeed. The problem is that the stopping point is rather awful!
